Bronzite Faceted 12mm Beaded Bracelet w/ Large Bronze Rectangular Medal Of Our Lady of the Snows

Bronzite Faceted 12mm Beaded Bracelet w/ this beautiful vintage medal features one of the Oldest Devotions to Mary.  It has direct ties to the legend about a marvelous snowfall in Rome in 352 AD.  Mary had indicated in a dream to a wealthy, childless Roman couple that she wanted a church built in her honor and the site for this church would be covered with snow.  On a hot sultry morning on August 5, Esquiline Hill was covered with snow, and  a church was built on this hill to honor Mary in 358 AD. This church is the Basilica of St. Mary Major.  This medal honors the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, Illinois.
